Arcadia Beach Guest House and Car Hire is located directly across from the beautiful Geoffrey Bay Marine Park hosting many varieties of marine life. It has wonderful snorkelling opportunities with the self-guided snorkel trail and Molke shipwreck at your doorstep. Stroll to the end of the bay to see the rock wallabies or take a bush walk to amazing lookouts and see koalas in their natural habitat.

Ian was amazing and very helpful explaining everything we could do on the island. My partner and I stayed in one of the safari tent (West Point) for two night which was very confy and relaxing. Fabulous location just in front of the beach in a little tropical forest with a new pool table and very clean bathrooms. We also rented a typical Meggie car to drive around and it was so much fun. A big thank you again to Ian and his staff for making our holiday so enjoyable.

    Lovely hut with great privacy and quiet surrounds yet so close to everywhere you want to be. Loved the airconditioning on the hot days/nights, the outdoor bath, the funky vibe, coffee machine & quaint features.

    Fantastic place to stay on Magnetic Island as a solo traveller. Liz was an amazing host! She went above and beyond to make me feel welcome including picking me up/dropping me off to the ferry terminal and making my stay so easy. She provided lots of lovely groceries and extra treats! The location was perfect, nice and quiet with an amazing pool and sunbeds and a gorgeous view of the mountains!

    Nearly everything was perfect. So clean and well maintained resort. Very spacious room, secure and well ventilated plus quiet air con. The best wifi we have ever had! Great pool area and activities on the premises. Super friendly staff made us feel very welcome. So close to the beach and within easy walking distance to cafes, shops, ferry, supermarkets. Great location. Very quiet and peaceful. Definitely worth a return visit.
